Improving health care by inspiring a balanced exchange of evidence, experience, and perspectives.
About Us
The Alliance for Health Policy is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to helping policymakers and the public better understand health policy, the root of the nation’s health care issues, and the trade-offs posed by various proposals for change.
We believe a better health care system begins with a balanced exchange of evidence, experience, and multiple perspectives.
Signature Series
Courageous Conversations. Innovative Events.
The annual Signature Series addresses challenging issues in health policy by convening cross-sector dialogue with experts in both policy and practice. Together, we critically examine and identify what’s at stake, as well as key areas of opportunity.
This year’s theme focuses on envisioning a person-first health system by focusing on Patient Outcomes, Innovation, and Patient Experience.

Mental health is a dynamic state of internal equilibrium which enables individuals to use their abilities in harmony with universal values of society. Basic cognitive and social skills; ability to recognize, express and modulate one’s own emotions, as well as empathize with others; flexibility and ability to cope with adverse life events and function in social roles; and harmonious relationship between body and mind represent important components of mental health which contribute, to varying degrees, to the state of internal equilibrium.
